“<strong>OLYMPIC</strong> WHALING”<br />
n.p. [Hamburg], n.d. [1952]<br />
Blue cloth, 29.5 x 21.5 cm, with impressed<br />
gilt company supralibro, 42 album leaves<br />
pre-printed with German captions in brown,<br />
with ca. 260 b/w and colour photos glued in.<br />
Whaleman Ferdinand Krügel (1925-2008)<br />
furnished the pre-printed albums with prints<br />
made from negatives submitted by several<br />
participants in the 1950/51 and 1951/52<br />
whaling seasons. Crewmembers could buy<br />
albums with or without photos and would<br />
then supplement them with their own photos.<br />
Olympic Whaling Company also distributed<br />
these albums as gifts.<br />
There are said to exist a few representation<br />
albums in larger de-luxe format.<br />
Barthelmess Whaling Collection.<br />
Illustrated are the title page, fol 25 verso-26 recto, and two colour arial photos on fol 10, taken<br />
from the “Hiller 360” helicopter, which <strong>OLYMPIC</strong> <strong>CHALLENGER</strong> had on board in the 1950/51<br />
season for ice reconnaisance and spotting whales. In autumn 1951 it was used for spotting<br />
whales off the coast of Peru only.
